Kahu Team

into the sky, gliding, confident, understanding all below, ready to spread our wings for new horizons of understanding!

Slowly we’re walking to the library holding a very heavy pencil or an inky pen. Walking in we see…….. Marshmallows!! But we soon discovered we were being bribed by food to do work about the learning model. We wrote down what all the different stages in the learning model are, for example share and ignite. We all wrote things that explain our thoughts about what each stage means to others. Once we got up to the refocus stage we handed round a success list about how to eat marshmallows. We had to conquer being able to explain the feel, colour, flavour, how to bite it into smaller pieces, chew the marshmallow and swallow the marshmallow. To finish off we rated ourselves with 1-3 smileys. Lots of us found it hard to not just eat the marshmallows without doing the process. As we left the delicious smelling library we had the sweet taste of marshmallows and stored lots of information about Whakamana Akonga our learning model in our brains.By Phoebe and Elsa
